Wayne Rooney has taken on a new role after he was sacked by Plymouth Argyle in January

Wayne Rooney has been spotted coaching at a luxury £8,000 football camp in Dubai, where he's training both his son Cass and Kyle Walker's son Reign.

The former Manchester United legend is running 'Train with Wayne' sessions at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel during the February half-term break.


The 39-year-old has kept himself involved in football since his departure from Plymouth Argyle on New Year's Eve, combining punditry work for Amazon Prime with coaching duties.

Parents are reportedly paying between £7,500 and £8,650 for a family of four to attend the week-long training camp.

A spokesman for Football Escapes praised the programme's success, stating: "Wayne Rooney's first Football Escapes course is in full flow, and it's been nothing short of amazing."

The spokesman added that there has been "expert coaching, plenty of laughs, and memories being made on and off the pitch."

During his time in Dubai, Rooney joined Annie Kilner and other sports stars for a night out at Top Golf.

Former rugby player Jason Robinson's wife Sian shared a group photo on Instagram on Wednesday, capturing the social gathering.

The image showed Annie and her children, Rooney with his sons Klay, Kit and Cass, Sian and her son, and Dean and his son.

"Gorgeous bunch of boys," Sian captioned the group snapshot at the UAE venue.

Annie Kilner's Dubai trip comes amid reports she has enlisted the services of Paul Lunt, the litigator who helped Coleen Rooney during her Wagatha Christie court battle.

The 30-year-old WAG is reportedly seeking a divorce from Kyle Walker, with a potential fight looming over his £30million fortune.

Walker, meanwhile, is preparing for a new chapter in Italy, where he is set to move into a luxury £10,000-per-week apartment in Milan.

The England defender's marriage faced strain after it emerged he had fathered two children with Lauryn Goodman during his marriage to Annie.

The Football Escapes programme runs from February 17 to February 21 at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel.
